You might've seen Melton in a few episodes of American Horror Story: Hotel or Glee, but this is probably his biggest role yet. Since his schedule isn't as busy as Ross's was, Reggie's going to be a more central character this season. Just hearing how much fun he's having on set is getting us even more pumped for the new season.

Showrunner Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa also shared a photo of Melton with Ashleigh Murray, who plays Josie McCoy. Ashleigh told E! News Josie and Reggie would date in season 2, and it looks like they've already become fast friends.
